Relationship Hero

How do you resolve conflicts with your in-laws? We have tried many different techniques to solve the relationship problems with my in-laws. The problems are not only with the mother in law or father in law but also with my husband’s siblings. The general consensus is that I am the whole problem, that his family has never done anything wrong. They say I am too sensitive and basically have mind control over my husband making him think and feel the way he does. It is both insulting and flattering that they think I am that powerful. I feel bad for … Continue reading →

Christmas With the In-Laws

So we did Thanksgiving our way I agreed to give a little on Thanksgiving, it was just the two of us so we agreed to go over on Christmas Eve.

When a Friend Died

The wedding is over, my family and friends have all gone back to Massachusetts and I am married to a wonderful man whose family can’t stand me. Most of my allies boarded a plane and now were going to be over 1800 miles away. We packed our bags and moved to an apartment an hour away from my in-laws but that was not the only good thing about moving. Both of our jobs were closer to our new apartment than where we had been living, before we had over an hour commute to work every day so this was going … Continue reading →

Well I Guess I am Sorry

So after a Christmas straight from a horror movie, my fiancee spoke to his father and explained all the things that his mother had done to make me feel unwelcomed in their home and family. My future father in law went home and talked to his wife and explained what she did and how it made her son and I feel. I do not know if he did this because he really thought she did something wrong or if he just said that to make his son happy. A few days later my future mother in law came to the … Continue reading →

First Christmas Together

So I met my future husband for the first time in September and the in-laws did not seem like they were big fans of mine. Maybe I was wrong but after the good-byes at the airport when I headed home to Massachusetts I was not really feeling the love from my future in-laws. When I talked to my fiancee about the incident at the airport he thought that his parents were just being protective, but he still had the image of how I was going to be best of friends with his family. He still pictured his sister (who is … Continue reading →

Meeting the In-Laws

When I met my husband he kept telling me that he just knew that I was going to be great friends with his sister and that his family was just going to love me. He could just imagine all the times that his mom, sister and I would go shopping or out to lunch. Love must have made me gullible because reality is nowhere near what he thought it would be. My husband and I met in a rather unusual manner; I was working in Massachusetts for a company that represented the company in Texas that he worked for. We … Continue reading →
